Is a Gabriel Martinelli move to PSG really taking shape?
According to French reports, Paris SG sporting director, Luis Campos himself talked with Gabriel Martinelli’s agents. It has been informed that he discussed the terms and conditions of a potential deal with the Arsenal forward. The director scouted all the obligations of a transfer he will have to go through if the French club comes for the player. The Brazilian could become available for £50 million. No official bid has been placed by the Ligue 1 side yet.
These talks were held only to know how to strike the deal if they intend to. Although the encounter was at basic interrogatory level, it highly speaks of the sharp liking for the player. It will be very wrong if only the desire for the player is mentioned as it is not the case.
PSG is aiming to improve their attacking line and add depth to it for the next season. They have started looking for options which they will pursue in the summer transfer window. The types of players they are looking at say that they want to invest in wingers or wide forwards.

Gabriel Martinelli will enter into his final year of contract next season. His current deal will expire in 2027 but it has an option to extend one more year. The Brazilian forward has featured for the Gunners several times. But it still feels like he is not the primary preferred choice of Mikel Arteta.
The 24-year-old has experienced some ups and downs this season. Though he has goal contributions in that games where he barely performed. If we check the statistics of the recent years, Martinelli has been a prominent attacker in the Arsenal team. He is still a vital part of the squad as he keeps on delivering off the bench. Gabriel can play on both of the wings, has a good speed and carries a direct approach towards the goal. These type of traits are heavily accepted by the France’s football culture.
